| Jan | 120 MT |
| Feb | 135 MT |

Example source references
From the first question to the next decision
Choose the geography, commodity classification, and reporting period. A focused question makes gaps and comparisons easier to assess.
Keep units and period consistent when comparing a trade flow or market observation. A delayed release is not a current price quote.
Follow the source reference and keep the coverage limits in the result. Missing periods or geographies should stay visible.
Know what the result covers
Available sources differ in geography, reporting period, licensing, and refresh frequency. Atlas does not provide complete global coverage or real-time updates for every dataset. A research comparison does not guarantee an optimized route or trading outcome.
